Anne Rice Book Angel Time

I can entirely blame Twilight for reversing my aversion for vampires. As I’ve mentioned repeatedly, I’m a scaredy-cat, so Twilight is the first book I’ve ever read with vampires. With constant exposure to the blood sucking creatures through The Twilight Saga, I found myself attempting to watch vampire-filled films and TV series. That’s also why I contemplated reading Anne Rice books, which are famous for its loving depiction of the nocturnal creatures, such as The Interview with the Vampire or The Queen of the Damned.
So while I was at the bookstore, I picked up a paperback version of Angel Time by Anne Rice, thinking that with a title like that, it might be a gentle way of easing into the frightful world of vampires. However, I was bewildered when there was no mention of such. Instead, it focused on the spiritual enlightenment of a lost man, making me lose interest halfway through the book.
So, although Anne Rice has dismissed the Twilight series as a “really silly premise,” I find it ironic that it is entirely because of Twilight that I will be reading one of her vampire books in the future.
